G		G7	  C 
When loneliness lays her hurting hands on me, 
          G		     D  D7 
There's a place I always can go 
     G		 G7	      C 
I'll pour out my soul, to my old piano 
      G		    D		    G 
And I let those old ivories cry for me 
G      G7     C		     G			 D  D7 
Ivory tears, ivory tears, my old piano cries for me, 
G      G7     C		  G		D     D7   G 
Ivory tears, ivory tears, dripping from every melo-dy 
G	     G7	         C 
Some lonely people, they turn to the jukebox, 
G	       G7	   D	D7 
Others turn to whiskey and wine 
               G	      G7           C 
But, when it's crying time for me, well, I turn to my ole' piano 
      G		     D		    G 
And I let those old ivories cry for me 
G     G7     C		      G		     D       D7 
Ivory tears, ivory tears, my old piano, it's crying, crying 
G     G7     C		  G		 D    D7   G 
Ivory tears, ivory tears, dripping from every melo-dy
